Bulgarian company supplying weapons to Kyiv says it was targeted in sabotage

dnoticias.pt13 September 2026 at 13:01

The Bulgarian arms company EMKO, which supplies weapons to Ukraine, suffered an explosion in the early hours of Saturday at one of its warehouses, classifying the incident as sabotage. EMKO issued a statement saying that "the destruction of arms depots in Bulgaria is becoming an everyday occurrence".

The company emphasized that none of the investigations into explosions and fires at defense industry facilities have been concluded since 2011, demonstrating a systematic failure by Bulgarian authorities to resolve these cases.

EMKO criticized the indifference of institutions to these recurring attacks on the country's defense industry facilities, suggesting that adequate measures are not being taken to protect these critical infrastructures.

Why this matters

The explosion at EMKO represents a potential deliberate attack against the military supply chain to Ukraine, at a time when the conflict remains active. For Bulgarian readers, this incident raises questions about the security of national defense facilities and about the authorities' ability to investigate and prevent these recurring attacks over recent decades.
